Amari Cooper did something no Oakland Raider has done since 1965

Amari Cooper clearly got tired of hearing about how disappointing his 2017 season had been.

After starting the season 2-0, the Oakland Raiders had lost four games in a row heading into Thursday night’s matchup against the 5-1 Kansas City Chiefs, and Cooper’s struggles had been a big part of that.

However, in Oakland’s impressive 31-30 victory, Cooper was incredible, catching 11 passes for 210 yards and two scores to lead his team.

Even more stunning, Cooper’s 200-yard performance was the first time an Oakland receiver had reached that mark since 1965:

Love Coop, but if he ever wants to get to that mega star level he has got to start making the easy catches. I saw last night where he missed a few easy routine catches and a few were tough I’ll admit. Talent, athleticism, skill isn’t his problem, its all between the ears. He’s still way young though and well on his way to a hall of fame career.
